Intel has gone from mastering the world to being a forced partner of the United States. They are bad news for Europe

by

Intel has just sold 10% of your company to the United States government for 8,900 million dollars. The operation confirms what many suspected: the most iconic chips manufacturer in the world can no longer survive without state help. The panoramic. For three decades, the ‘Intel Inside’ stickers glued to millions of computers symbolized US domain in semiconductors. Intel and Microsoft created The era “wintel” that defined personal computing. In 2009, the Obama administration even presented antitrust charges against Intel for its dominant position. Today, the company is worth 108,000 million dollars while Nvidia, its former subordinated, reaches 4.3 billion. What has happened. Last Friday, Donald Trump announced that the United States acquired 10% Intel in exchange for promised funds under the CHIPS ACT They never arrived. It is not technically a rescue, but it looks a lot. Trump sold it as a big business: “I paid zero for Intel, it is worth approximately 11,000 million dollars” (capital letters are yours). The reality is more complex: Intel had been waiting for those 8.9 billion already committed by the previous administration for months. The company desperately needed money: Its foundry division lost $ 13.4 billion last year. He has fired between 8,000 and 10,900 workers. And the most worrying: not even Intel’s own product teams want to use their factories, preferring that TSMC manufactures their chips. Why is it important. This operation marks a turning point on three critical fronts: For Intel, It means losing business autonomy. 76% of their income comes from abroad, with China representing 29%. Now each decision will be under the political scrutiny of his government. As the company itself warns in regulatory documentsthis could “cause adverse reactions of investors, employees, clients, suppliers, foreign or competitors.” For the United Statesrepresents the return of state capitalism in technology. It is the first direct government intervention in a company from the rescue of the 2008 automobile industry. Trump has already suggested that there will be more: “I will make agreements like this for our country constantly.” For Europethis is especially worrying. The European Union partially depends on Intel for its ambitions of technological sovereignty in semiconductors. If the largest Western chips becomes an instrument of American industrial policy, Europe is in an even more vulnerable position against Asia. The Trump government has already asked TSMC to help rescue Intel factories. Also He took a “golden action” in Nippon Steel and Plan to stay with part of the sales that Nvidia and AMD make to China. The message is clear: the semiconductor industry is now a national security issue. Between the lines. Intel’s fundamental problem is not solved with public money: Intel failed in smartphones when he rejected to make chips for the first iPhone. He was late to AI while Nvidia was ahead. And he lost his leadership in manufacturing against TSMC, which not only has better technology but A superior business model As a pure foundry. As pointed out Intel’s CEO himself, Lip-bu Tan, “twenty or thirty years ago we were leaders. Now the world has changed. We are not among the ten main semiconductor companies.” Its survival depends on the success of the 18A manufacturing nodehis latest technological commitment. And now what. Intel is now a company supported by the State, something that its own managers warned could scare customers. Meanwhile, Trump promises more similar agreementseven suggesting the creation of an American sovereign fund with participations in technology companies. For competitors, this creates a scenario of unfair competition: AMD, Qualcomm and other companies now compete against a rival that has the US government as the main shareholder, with all that that implies in terms of government contracts and political decisions. Senator Rand Paul He summarized it With irony: “If socialism is the Government possessing the means of production, wouldn’t the government be having part of Intel a step towards socialism?” Paradoxically, Bernie Sanders, a declared socialist, applauded the measure. Intel went from being the symbol of American technological capitalism to become his first large semi-nationalized company of the 21st century. For Europe, which struggles not to be behind the technological career, it is an alarm signal: the era of the free market in semiconductors is over.

China prepares one of the biggest military parades in history. It will be, above all, a warning to the world

by

On September 3, Beijing will convert Tiananmen Square in the epicenter of an unprecedented demonstration of force. China will organize a military parade massive to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. In addition, it will also be the perfect time to show the military capacities acquired under the mandate of Xi Jinping. An event of magnitudes. More than 10,000 military personnel, a hundred aircraft and several hundred land vehicles will participate in A 70 -minute ceremony which promises to be the largest Chinese armament exhibition since 2019. The parade will include 45 troops formations and will present more than 100 different types of military equipment, all national production and active duty. We don’t know everything. Chinese authorities have confirmed that a great proportion of the weapons will be completely new. Among the novelties are hypersonic missiles capable of traveling five times the speed of sound, antimile defense systems, directed energy weapons, autonomous combat drones and electronic warfare systems. According to Major general Wu Zeke, deputy director in charge of the military parade, these weapons “will fully demonstrate the solid capacity of our army to adapt to technological advances and win future wars.” A message for another recipient. Although officially commemorates the victory over Japan, the parade has a strategic objective between the lines: show the United States and its allies in the Pacific The new Chinese military capacity. The analysts They expect See new anti-buque missile models such as YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 E YJ-20, specifically designed to neutralize carriers and deny access to Western naval forces in the region. Taiwan in the spotlight. The arsenal that Beijing will also have direct implications for Taiwan’s future. The new tanks with unmanned turrets and active protection systems would significantly complicate the island’s defense strategy, which is based on mobile and cheap anti -tank weapons. As Point out Sheu Jyh-Shyang, from the Taiwan National Defense and Security Research Institute: “This is not good news for Taiwan.” Putin as guest star. The confirmed presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin with Xi Jinping during the ceremony sends another powerful geopolitical message. Putin already attended the great military parade of China in 2015, when the majority of Western leaders declined the invitation, so it is another step in The alliance between the two countries in front of the West. The backdrop. The military power deployment comes at a time of maximum tension in the Pacific. The popular liberation army has intensified your exercises Simulating blockages and attacks against Taiwan, while systematically denies the operation capacity of US forces in the region. Beijing has promised to reveal more details about the specific weapons that will be shown in the coming weeks.

472 km/hy 3,000 hp to be the fastest in the world

by

Byd has managed to get the speed record with an electric car. He has done it with the Yangwang U9, an electric supercard that is part of one of its luxury brands. The company has put all the meat on the grill with a car capable of jumping, circulating with three wheels … and, now, becoming the fastest electric car in the world. 472.41 km/h. It is the maximum speed reached by the Yangwang U9the electric supercard of the luxury firm of Byd. The company has confirmed that, on August 8, 2025, its electric car reached the aforementioned 472.41 km/h on the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg (Germany) testing. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Until now, the record was held by the ASPARK OWL SP600a Japanese car that had reached 438.7 km/h. That is, the Yangwang U9 has swept it from the map. Before, The Nevera Rimacthat until recently it was the most advanced electric car in the world, it is far away with tip speed of 412 km/h. The latest technology. Byd uses the Yangwang brand to show Your most advanced technology. The electrical supercar that has broken the record uses the E4 Platform and the Disus-X architecture that mounts the street car that is sold in China. But it has been possible to raise the platform up to 1,200 V. This is what allows you to reach a combined total power of 2,200 kW (3,000 hp) thanks to four 555 kW (755 hp) engines. Although the battery weight raises the weight to the point that we would consider it an overweight supercar, the irrational power figure leaves the car at 0.82 kg/cv. The showcase. But not everything is power in Yangwang U9. As we said, Byd uses this company to show its latest technology. In the case of Yangwang U9, a body balancing control system that keeps the car always flat, to the point that it is possible three -wheeled. Can even jump To avoid a bump if necessary. To get all these tricks, the system controls the pair to deliver to each wheel more than 100 times per second. Beyond the figures or the striking, this has its direct impact on behavior at live speeds but also to eliminate balance in case of overcoming highlights or potholes. And the electric supercar is not the only model with which Yangwang shows his latest technology. The Yangwang U8 is a gigantic SUV of more than five meters that is only able to overcome streams or face important water vadeo steps. His power is so much that is able to float as if it were a boat using its four engines. A story. Beyond demonstrating how far they are capable of arriving as a company, this attempt by Byd demonstrates the need for large Chinese companies to create a story around their brands. In the absence of history and a past in competitions, as they have done European and American firms, they have opted for the latest technology. It is the same that happens to Xiaomi and the reason why The first objective of the Ultra It has been to beat the record in green hell. Traditionally, brands have used Nürburgring Nordschleife to show that their cars were the fastest and their effectiveness. It is no accident that the Chinese company was launched to the German layout To get your own hole as soon as it had the slightest opportunity. As it is not accidental His appearance in Gran Turismo 7. This type of collaborations shows that the company is trying to do everything possible to earn a hole in the collective imaginary of the engine fan. The video game has served to recreate us playing with cars that we can never drive but also to sow the seed that your brand plays with the most top of the industry and directly, publicize a company that you had never heard before.

China is the first “electrostation” of the world and not because of its climatic moral

by

Fossil fuels defined the last two centuries of our history. The extraction, trade and conflict around oil and gas drawn the geopolitical and technological map we know. But the era of petrotesties is coming to an end. A new force has broken In the world order: China, the first “electrostate” of the world. A decade of strategic planning. China already generates more than a quarter of its electricity With solar and wind energy. Its renewable industry grows exponentially, even exceeding the growth of energy demand. As a result, the country previously known for its air pollution You are already cutting its carbon dioxide emissions. This milestone is no accident, but the fruit of a decade of strategic planning. Under the “Made in China 2025” initiative, The Chinese government drew a plan in 2015 to make the country a high -tech manufacturing leader. But Beijing’s motivation was not climatic morals. The country depended on the importation of oil and gas, a huge strategic vulnerability. The plan was a commitment determined by electrification, channeled in a massive display of wind energy, solar, batteries and electric vehicles. China’s transformation into an electro -speaking. After developing full supply chains with unique economies, China has achieved a crushing domain of the renewable energy industry and electrification. Solar panels, Batteries and electric vehicles Chinese manufacturing are getting better and more affordable. This has had a direct impact on developing countries. According to a Carbon Brief Analysisonly in 2024, Chinese exports of clean technology reduced CO2 emissions out of their borders by 1%. The deployment is so massive that the emissions generated during the manufacture of these products are compensated in less than a year of use. A bipolar energy map. He China boom as electrostate He has created a new duality in power. On the one hand, there are the petroesties (Saudi Arabia, Russia …), whose energy influence is based on the export of hydrocarbons. On the other, the electrostators (with China at the head and Europe as a follower), which They base their power on electrificationrenewables and control of clean technology supply chains. This new bipolarity will not last long. While petroesties depend on volatile and geopolitically complex markets, renewable energy is a form of sovereignty. Any country can generate its own electricity from the sun or wind, eliminating its dependence on imports and isolating the volatility of fuel prices. The twilight of the petroesties. For countries that depend on the export of oil and gas, China’s rise is an existential threat. China is not just a competitor: it is its biggest client. And that customer is diversifying its energy sources at a dizzying speed. The impact is already noticeable. Crude imports to China fell in 2024 for the first time in two decades, without counting pandemic. It is expected that The country’s oil demand reaches its maximum point in 2027. Since China has promoted two thirds of the growth of world demand for oil in the last decade, its deceleration will change the rules of the game for producers such as Russia and Saudi Arabia, which is already trying to reconvert renewable. The giant contradictions. Despite its advances, China remains the world’s largest coal consumer And, paradoxically, continues to build new thermal plants. However, their average use is 50% and the law defines them since 2022 as a support to contribute flexibility to the electricity grid. A more worrying sector is that of its carbochimic industry, which converts coal into fuels and chemicals. This sector added 3% to the total CO2 emissions of China between 2020 and 2024. In any case, the country has cut its CO2 emissions by 1% during the first half of 2025, compensating for other sectors with the massive renewable deployment. A tectonic movement. The rise of China as the first electrostate in the world is the omen of a global change. A transformation promoted by self -interest, national security and industrial ambition, not by climate altruism, but whose effects are accelerating global decarbonization in a way that international negotiations by themselves have not achieved. We are entering an era in which geopolitical power will not be measured only in oil barrels, but in renewable capacity gigawatts, in the control of critical minerals and in the domain of supply chains of batteries and solar panels. The Era of the Petroestados is coming to an end, and the dawn of the era of the electrostates is already here. The rules of global power are being rewritten, this time with electrons.

His mega -study for trucks is the largest in the world

by

Huawei has presented the first 100 MW recharge station. The space is designed for the recharge of large -tonnage electric trucks and has put a new roof if we talk about power available in the loaders. It is just another example of how the company is becoming a reference in the market for electric mobility in the country. The biggest in the world. There is only one electric vehicle recharge station with 100 MW. It is in China, of course, and Huawei has raised it. The technology company has opened in Beichuan Qiang, a county in the center of the country, the largest load station in the world for available power, according to Carnewschina. The space is designed for electric truck recharge and its location makes all the meaning, far from the big cities. The most important city in the area is Chongqing that has more than 30 million inhabitants but is 400 kilometers away. This gives an idea of ​​the existing complications to join the large Chinese cities through the use of electric vehicles. In data. As for pure and hard data, Huawei station It is summarized in the following: 18 load points with 1.44 MW powers 108 load points at 600 kW A total capacity of 100 MW of power Two storage spaces of 215 kWh It is estimated that they can recharge up to 700 trucks daily Understanding it. To have a clearer what all these numbers mean, the first thing we have to take into account is that In Spainmost of the rapid recharge points are 150 kW. The most advanced are delivering between 350 and 400 kW but are exceptional. Besides, There are barely cars that can recharge more than 250 kW at the moment. Powers such as those commented above are only available for trucks since a battery is needed that is able to assimilate that power. Byd, in China, has 1 MW chargers that can be used for private vehicles but already explained that the true target audience is heavy transport. With a 1 MW load point, a byd car can recharge 400 kilometers in five minutes. In Carnewschina They point out that at that time a truck recovers about 100 kilometers. It is not a problem since it is assumed that in heavy transport longer stops are expected to rest. A reef. With this type of recharges, Huawei shows that he has found a huge business road. Although byd loaders have been the ones who have caused the most expectation, China technology is another of the big companies than He is developing his own loaders And you can look at you from you. In the case of this new loading station, Huawei presumes the integration of photovoltaic energy, which allows it to reduce its environmental impact but, above all, function disconnected from the main network which allows it to mitigate the pressure on it. It ensures a microred in which the type of energy consumed is balancing and renewable is prioritized. And a reference. The company has risen as one of the market references. In addition to these huge load stations and their 1.5 MW power plugs, it also has a good network of 600 kW loaders for passenger vehicles that, as we have seen, are more than enough for current vehicles. The competitive advantage over the rivals is that Huawei presumes having worked on the liquid cooling of the charger so as not to overheat the system and, therefore, that the loading power is reduced. The company assured in the late 2024 that it has already deployed 50,000 of these plugs around the country, distributed throughout 200 cities. And it is not the only open front that the company has in the electric car. Right now, it is offering its technology to sustain infotainment systems or software management in firms as powerful in China as Maextrowith whom you have for sale A luxury sedan of almost five and a half meters long Photo | Huawei In Xataka | While European manufacturers think about what the car of the future will be like, Huawei is already thinking about the post-coche era

Nvidia is the Canary in the mine for the world economy. It depends on whether a recession arrives or not

by

Nvidia will present its results from the second fiscal quarter on Wednesday. The market Wait for income of 46,000 million dollars54% more than a year ago, with benefits per share of $ 1.01, 48% higher. Why is it important. Nvidia is no longer just one more technological company. With almost 8% of the weight of the American index S&P 500 and a market value of 4.3 billion dollars, its results move world bags. Investors hope that Wall Street ranges 0.9% after knowing the figures, more even after types of types of interest of the Federal Reserve. The context. Large technology still invests fortunes in artificial intelligence. Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and Google represent 40% of Nvidia’s income. Their investment plans in data centers and graphic processors do not show brake signals. Goal has just launched Your Superintelligence Laboratory. Tesla bets on autonomous cars and humanoid robots. The problem is that the market already discounts perfection. The action quotes in its historical maximums and any disappointment, however small, could trigger a brutal correction. Yes, but. China is still the great unknown. The Chinese government has just recommended to local businesses that Avoid NVIDIA H20 chipspecifically designed for that market. The United States had authorized sales in exchange for keeping 15% of incomebut the commercial war threatens a market valued at 50,000 million dollars. Between the lines. Analysts are still extremely optimistic. Nine investment firms have uploaded their target prices in the last week to an average of $ 194, 9% above Friday’s closure. But the option of options Sample nervousness: investors expect a 6% movement in any direction. Sectorial rotation has already begun. Technology has been the worst stock market sector in August and interest -ranking values ​​have taken off. Small companies rise 5% in the last month. The construction companies, 10%. At stake. If Nvidia disappoints, even if it is minimally, it could trigger a massive sale in technology and confirm bubble fears in artificial intelligence. If you exceed expectations, it will revive the technological increases and remove the ghosts of the recession. As says The strategist Art Hogan: “Nvidia has the potential to be the positive catalyst.” Or, we would add to sink everything.

The highest rocket in the world again crossed the skies after the disaster

by

Starship needs to get out of the bump. After A long streak of explosionsSpacex looks for a clean flight that allane the way to the new rocket generation. Booster 16 and Ship 37 are already stacked on the launch platform for the tenth flight. This will be the Penultimate Mission of Current Design Before moving on to the third generation starship. Date and time of launch. If everything goes as planned, the takeoff will take place this Sunday, August 24, in an afternoon schedule that will allow observing the reentry of the ship over the Indian Ocean in broad daylight. The launch window for the Starship’s tenth flight It opens this Sunday at 18:30 CDT, local time of Starbase, Texas. In other cities: Madrid, Spain (CEST, UTC+2): Monday, August 25 at 01:30 Mexico City, Mexico (CST, UTC – 6): Sunday, August 24 at 5:30 p.m. Buenos Aires, Argentina (Art, UTC-3): Sunday, August 24 at 8:30 p.m. Bogotá, Colombia (COT, UTC-5): Sunday, August 24 at 6:30 p.m. Lima, Peru (Pet, UTC-5): Sunday, August 24 at 6:30 p.m. Santiago, Chile (CLT, UTC-4): Sunday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. Caracas, Venezuela (Vet, UTC-4): Sunday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. How to see the live flight. As usual, Spacex will broadcast the launch Through its website and of Your official account in X. The broadcast will begin approximately 30 minutes before takeoff. For the most enthusiastic, YouTube channels like Nasaspaceflight and Everyday Astronaut They will offer live coverage with their own cameras from the vicinity of Starbase. In Spanish, the coverage of Space border, Mission control, Manuel Mazzanti either Spacexstormamong others. A streak that must end. This tenth attempt comes after a few months complicated for Spacex. The company has lost Four consecutive shipsturning each launch into An invaluable data source to improve its design, but also in a reminder of the complexity involved in building the highest and most powerful rocket in the world. Flight 9, which took place on May 27, ended with the loss of both stages. Booster 14, In his second flightdisintegrated during an experimental landing maneuver, subject to an angle of attack that is too aggressive that its structure did not support. Shortly after, Ship 35 reached the scheduled speed to put out its engines, but suffered a leak in the pressurization system that prevented him from completing his goals and condemned it to turn without control. As if that were not enough, the ship that had to star in this tenth flight, the Ship 36, violently exploded at the test base on June 18 during a fuel load. The culprit, according to Spacex, was a secondary nitrogen tank with structural damage that were overlooked. With this history, the pressure on the new prototypes is maximum. A flight full of experiments. Far from being conservative, Spacex has designed an ambitious mission to continue taking the vehicle to the limit and demonstrating that previous failures are solved. The Super Heavy propeller will not be caught by the tower. Instead, it will go to the Gulf of Mexico for controlled amelution while performing complex tests. Booster 16 will repeat the controlled turn that was already tested on flight 9 to save fuel in the return maneuver, after the separation of stages. But this time, it will intentionally deactivate one of the three central landing engines to test whether a backup engine can take over. The test will end with the propeller making a stationary flight on the ocean using only two engines before falling into the water. The ship 37, meanwhile, has the mission of finally fulfilling the objectives that its predecessors did not achieve. He will try for the first time to open your load gate in space to display eight Starlink satellite models. He will tasta again the redempted of a Raptor engine to perform a controlled orbit outlet. And will fly without some thermal tiles to stress vulnerable areas. In addition, it will test new materials for thermal shield, such as metal tiles (one of them with active refrigeration), and a more aggressive reentry profile. The penultimate test before the redesign. This tenth flight is not one more. It is, together with the eleventh, the last opportunity for Spacex to collect data from the current rocket design before making the jump the Starship 3. This new version, which we have already seen components, promises a deep redesign with larger and more robust fins, and a greater structural capacity. A success on flight 10 would be a fundamental moral and technical impulse for the program, demonstrating that the rapid Iteration of Spacex works and that the path to a totally reusable launch system, although full of explosions, continues to advance. Whatever happens, the show is guaranteed. Image | Spacex In Xataka | Spacex has asked Mexico to stop invading its property and returns the starship pieces that fell into the country

There are turbulence in the world economy and the great Asian millionaires are clear where to put their money: in Bitcoin

by

The wallets of the great Asian heritage are changing, and do so at a dizzying pace. Far from the caution of previous years, the richest families in Asia or ‘Family Office‘They are adopting cryptocurrencies Not as an eccentricity, but as a fundamental pillar of its investments. Promoted by a bull market, a generalized adoption and, above all, by New favorable regulationsAsian money flows to digital assets, marking a before and after in the perception of the sector. A moment of Bitcoin as never seen before. This renewed Asian interest coincides with a sweet moment for the market: Bitcoin has spray records this month. So much that has overcome The $ 124,000 barrier. Of ‘try’ to be ‘essential’. Until recently, the strategy of wealthy Asian investors was to allocate a small portion of their wealth to cryptocurrencies, almost like an anecdote of their balances. Today, The mentality has taken a 180 -degree turn. The Director of Investments of Digital Revo Family Office It indicates that last year these families or ‘Family Officers’ began to tote the terrain of cryptocurrencies. But it has not been until now when they wanted to have a token directly. This change translates into an unprecedented demand. Heritage managers claim to receive a growing number of consultations, cryptocurrency exchanges They see their negotiation volumes shoot and the specialized funds in cryptoactive are booming, as reported by Reuters. New funds of crypts that triumph. A clear example is that of Nextgen Digital Venture. Its founder, Jason Huang, launched A new crypto-action background In Singapore at the end of May and success was immediate. He points out that they raised “100 million dollars in just a few months.” And the result has been very good, since this first fund closed 2024 with a 375% profitability in just two years. Points to the following: Our investors – mainly family and entrepreneurs of the Internet/Fintech – recognize the growing role of digital assets in diversified portfolios. A trend that goes to the future. Precisely, the Swiss Investment Bank UBS Corroborate this trend To Reuters, pointing out that some family officers of great Chinese fortunes plan to increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies to reach about 5% of their portfolios. Regulation is the key piece that drives trust. Specifically, two recent laws have been very significant. The first one is the Hong Kong Stablecoins Lawwhich was approved in May 2025 and establishes a complete regulatory framework. It forces any stablcoins issuer referenced to the Hong Kong dollar to obtain a license from the Monetary Authority of Hong Kong and to meet strict requirements, such as a disbursed share capital of at least 3.2 million dollars. Something that has given stability and security to investors. The US law genius act Signed by Donald Trump in June also has part of responsibility. And it is that it establishes license and supervision requirements for the emitters of Stablecoins, which requires that they are 100% backed by liquid reserves such as effective or treasure bonds and reinforces consumer protection. Something that has also given a lot of confidence to the market. More sophisticated strategies and bitcoin as refuge. Investors are no longer limited to buying and waiting for results. Some managers such as Lighthouse Canton point out that the most advanced family officers They have begun to adopt neutral market strategiessuch as the ‘Basis Trade’ and arbitration. All to improve their yields. In addition, in a context of macroeconomic uncertainty, Bitcoin is consolidating as a “portfolio diversifier.” Giselle Lai, associate director of investments in digital assets at Fidelity International, explains that investors use it more and more to cover the risks, given their low correlation with traditional shares and bonds. The numbers do not lie. Hashkey Exhange, one of the license platforms in Hong Kong, has seen how their number of customers has shot 85% year -on -year. The same happens in South Korea, where the three main exchanges have registered a 17% growth in their total negotiation volumes so far from 2025 compared to the same 2024 period according to Reuters. Behind cryptocurrencies there are many stories. Apart from being a big business, over the last months we have seen failures such as Terrausd collapse or its prominence in The next East Wars. But there are also many surprises, such as The revaluation of 80,000 bitcoins at 17,000,000% or the Lord that He lost to his misfortune a hard drive With great economic value in Bitcoins.

The World Cup to the Comba exists, it is a hilarious thing and for us the question is obvious: what do the breath expect

by

Something that fascinates me is that we have the ability to turn anything into a game And, in turn, in a competition. If there is an Excel World Cupone of Collect garbage and Stone, paper, scissorsof course there is a world championship of jumping. It is a sport that needs great coordination and physical background, and a few days ago celebrated The World Rope World Blash championship in Japan in which the best on the planet have gathered. He is fighting so that the leap to the Comba becomes an Olympic sport, and I confess that seeing some video has managed to think that I am burning calories. Ijru. Are the acronym for International Jump Rope Union And it is the International Federation that organizes and regulates the competitive sport of the jump to the Comba. This is the highest world authority in this sport and is what seeks to expand the jump to the Comba as a high performance sport, promoting diversity, sports spirit, inclusion and those values ​​that make sports a universal language. The IJRU supervises affiliated organizations in more than 60 countries and something curious is that it was founded thanks to the fusion of two organisms that made the “war on their own.” On the one hand, was The International Rope Skipping Federation and on the other the World Jump Rope Federation and, with the aim of unifying rules and professionalizing discipline, reached good terms to become the current federation. Disciplines. Although it is not necessary to explain how it jumps, since it is a game that many have enjoyed at some point, perhaps you have to analyze what the disciplines are. Because in other sports such as football, tennis or Formula 1it is clear who already wins what is played, but with the comma it is different and there are several individual and collective tests: SPEED: His name says everything and consists of making the maximum number of jumps in a certain time that is usually 30 or 60 seconds or three minutes. Double Dutch: Two people turn two strings at the same time while other athletes perform the jumps. Triple under: You have to pass the rope three times under your feet in one jump. Freestyle: It is like synchronized dance, since athletes perform choreographies while jumping and tricks. It is tremendously complicated because not only the technique is judged, but creativity. Team routines: Similar to freestyle, where synchronized jumps, relay, acrobatics and any movement that involves teamwork are combined. Double combo. In addition, there are combinations such as Double Dutch Freestyle in which it is not about taking the maximum number of jumps in this discipline, but is combined with a free dance session. To qualify, athletes compete in national circuits sponsored by the Federation, and the best scores of each country are those that access places for the World Cup. The US, China, France or Japan are from the powers in this sport. 😮. Have you ever been watching a competition and exclaimed that “I’m tired just seeing them”? Well, beware of this video: That is the Double Dutch Speed, but in slow motion loses a lot of grace. Look at this at normal speed: It is not only about the coordination of the Saltadora, but about the rhythm and concentration that the two companions who are moving the ropes must have. But well, there is no easy category. Look at the ‘Single Rope Speed ​​Relay’ of this Chinese athlete in the competition a few weeks ago: These triples: The resistance session: Or this treesyle trees, which can also be played by teams Olympic objective. They are disciplines that would have a hole in some Olympics, but for the moment it is an honor that has not been granted to the jump to the Comba. However, the ijru is moving To be an accepted sport in the Olympic circuit, at least as a exhibition discipline. At the moment, the Olympic Games website itself has a reserved section For this competition, where we can see the finals of the World Cup in Japan held a few weeks ago, and On the Federation website We can see all kinds of rules about disciplines, the responsibility of athletes as behavior models or doping policies. The eSports have not yet achievedwe will see the jump to the rope that He slipped in the Olympic Games 2024 and that could follow the model of the Break Dance or Skate. Finally (because I’m still hallucinating with some jumps), I leave you on the last day of the World Junmp Rope Champioship by Kawasaki: Images | Ijru In Xataka | Millions of people are hooked right now to an Olympic Games where cats compete.

Quantum computers will change the world when they don’t make mistakes. This milestone is closer thanks to quantum gravity

Some experts believe that all the effort that is being carried out in the field of Quantum computing Not anywhere. One of the members of the scientific community more critical of quantum computers is the Israeli mathematician Gil KalaiProfessor at Yale University. According to this researcher, the increase in the number of states of quantum systems and their complexity will cause them to end up behaving like classical computers, so the superiority of the former will end up evaporating. However, the absence of unanimous support by the scientific community should not tarnish the notable effort and advances that many research groups are doing, some of them in Spanish institutions such as the CSIC and others integrated into the structure of companies that have very bulky resources, such as IBM, Google or Intel, among others. In fact, as expected, the latter defend that the long -awaited error correction will reach quantum computers and will allow them to face a much broader fan of problems than that of current prototypes. Terra Quantum bets on quantum severity to correct errors The main problem facing quantum computers in the field of error correction is noise, understood as the disturbances that can alter the internal state of the cubits and introduce calculation errors. The strategy for which many of the research groups that are involved in the development of quantum computers are opting for monitoring the operations carried out by the cubits to identify real -time errors and correct them. The problem is that from a practical point of view this strategy is very challenging. QMM technology reduces errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty of the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed abstractly on several physical or hardware cubits, so that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. The error correction strategy proposed by the researchers of the Swiss Terra Quantum company is not an alternative to the solutions in which we have just inquired; It is a complement. In fact, as explained in the article they have published in Advanced Quantum Technologiesits QMM technology (Quantum Memory Matrix) Reduce errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors. And, in addition, it reaches 94% fidelity using ten times less cubits than conventional methods. An important note: Terra Quantum’s scientific article has been reviewed by pairs. Terra Quantum has tested its QMM technology in IBM superconductor processors, and works. It only requires adding a quantum circuit that does not alter the architecture of the processor, although it is very ingenious. In fact, its operation is inspired by A principle of quantum gravity which maintains that the space-time continuum can be described as a network of me memory cells. It is a complicated idea, it is true, but the really important thing is that we know that this theoretical concept is the one that has inspired Terra Quantum scientists the design of their quantum circuit of errors suppression. Anyway, this innovation joins the effort that IBM, the MIT and other organizations are making to invite us to tie the future of quantum computers with a very reasonable optimism.
